• LA Juama, New Mexico, July 13, 1879.
DEAR M : When 'you turned me
loose upon the prairie, and left me to
my own: devices between the ' ache
and. the Huerfano, I felt for a wif
all
ile a
"broke up," so . to speak, and as . if
things had got upset geuerally and I
had lost my bearings. I set out,for the
ranch, bat had. DO heart to go
on, and. changed my course for the main
road., feeling that I would rather be
alone for a time instead of going through
more leave-takings, not to say anything
of my not yearning, in. my then frame
of mind, for the neeessity. of making
conversation. with the Senora
and. her amiable olive -sprouts. At the
Huerfano crossing I halted for about an
hour, finding a cool spring whereat to
drink, as the creek had gone dry, and
lunching famously from. my stock of
biscuits. It was abominably hot weath-
er for prairie walking when. I tcpk . up
my pack Regain and started for Cu haras,
but there was all the more necesity for
y skipping along aa quickly as possi-•
i
m
ble. This sidemf the Huerfano there
is, as you. may know, a beastly long up- -
hill stretch; not very steep, fer the
most part, but a steady ascent that un-
der a blazing sun, with scarcely as much
as a caetus or a sage bush in sight, is not
the nicest kind of place for pedestrian
exercise. However, I let out my legs and
came to Cue -hams station by -a .quarter
of 4 o'cdock_. I could have drunk.a, gal-
lon of water when I got there if, I had -
not been fearful of hurting nape' . 1 at
first proposed golug, on to the A ishapa
the same evening, and could -ha e done
it handily, but while lounging- around
the station to rest myself, I fell into
conversation e ith some of the m n who
were guarding the depot for the enver
and. Rio Grande , Company, and, they,
asking where I was bound, advised me
to wait until the next day, when they
thought that they could get me carried
to Trinidad on the train. I waited over
aceordingly, but failed. to get the ride,
as the engineer, who had promised to
take me through, was at the last mo-
meut changed, and the conductor want-
ed me to put up some dinere, which, I
scarce need say, failed to agree Vsith-my
sentiments. So I waited over` a second
night, thinking it just as well to take
au early morning start as to - •naake a
break late in the afternoon. I thus lost
a day's time, but had sufficient amuse-
meut talking with the guards, who were
rather .an intelligeut lot, and had nearly
all travelled much in New Mexico and
Arizona. From them I got consider-
able information a bout those , terri-
tories, some of it of a really interesting
kind.

rather well situated as regards scenery,
the Raton 'Mountaius looming up very
finely to the south, and smaller hills

to the other end of the tunnel in the
pas i OD the day I left Trinidad, taking
thihgs easily as the road was up

nice cool spots to rest in by the

the night, and two -bits supplied me
with grub, I having declined. an invita-

- Saturday morning saw me tramp into
Otero. Otero is about on its ', last legs..
I found nearly everybody preparing to
g� down "to the front!' -that is toLa
Vegas, or Vegas as thie.y call it here-
abouts. A month rnare will find- mere-
ly a few deserted shanties, perhaps a
"store" and. a -saloon where the great
.city of Otero once stood. It is • or was
(I am not sure which to say) a beastly
hole at best -aa horribly dusty place
with a number of ramshackle buildings,
principally devoted to the sale of rum,
and the large warehouse of Otero', Sel-
ler di.- Co., together .with the railroad
depot, making up . the whole outfit.
Great numbers of freighting wagons
stood around. the town, and the droves
of oxeu and mules kept the dust in a
continual state of agit ation.
I speedily learned that there was but
litt e chance of svorkiug olio's way
thr ugh to Tucson from this point.
Ne rly all the freighters are Mexicans,
aud Very ill-favored ones at that. There
are, some few American outfits, but the
-opportunities of getting wages from
them are not frequent. Consequently, I
mad.e up my mind. to come down as I
could, feeling my wars . I should. ad-
vance. I stayed at Otero through San-
dal, Mondag and Tuesday, " putting
